FIG. 2. 



FIELD S AERATING BAIT CAN. 



carrying the can, a sort of bellows is set to work, that 

 effectually aerates the water and will enable baits to be 

 kept alive and vigorous for infinitely longer periods than hereto- 

 fore, and with infinitely less trouble. The can, it will be seen, 

 also possesses the other improvement alluded to of an inner, or 

 removable, perforated cage, figure i, which lifts out to admit of a 

 selection from the baits. 



Mr. Field's excellent invention is manufactured and sold by 

 Mr. Henry Bawcome, of 2, Victoria Road, Holloway. It is made 

 in two sizes i gallon and i J gallon. 



In quitting this subject, I ought not to omit to mention another 

 ingenious invention, which it seems odd no one should have 

 thought of before, so obvious is its adaptability to the needs of the 

 itinerant pike and minnow fisher. The following account of 

 " Aspray's Folding Bait Can " is taken from the Fishing Gazette.
